Is there a way to pass a macro variable into SAP HANA? 

Normally you use double quotes around a marco in proc sql to resolve but double quotes define a column name in SAP HANA therefore it will not resolve correctly

 

this is  snip of the code. if i put double quotes around it than it read as a column name.

where

E."0UCOPERAND"="&OP_TYPE."

i have tried it without double quotes and it stll doesn't work.

 

Any ideas

What does "doesn't work" mean? If SAP HANA insists on only accepting single quotes then try this:

E."0UCOPERAND"=%str(%')&OP_TYPE.%str(%')
